I for one found this movie to be a great watch. It was inventive in its look, and told a compelling story in a completely new way. The plot is sort of like a fairy tale, with a young woman, trapped in a loveless marriage. Her husband comes home and takes the one thing she loves away from her, which finally gives her the power to stand up for herself and take her revenge.

The film has a really cool look, all the characters move around like marionettes and the pacing and movement is really bizarre. The movie also tells a really intriguing story in a really short amount of time. I recommend it highly.
